‘Wool and Water’ at Kelly Adirondack Center
The Wool and Water exhibit, on display October 27, 2025 through April 30, 2026, is a collaborative project that blends fiber art with scientific information to tell the important stories of our waterways. The aim of the project is to showcase the legacy of protecting clean water in the Adirondacks, Lake Champlain Basin, and beyond. Wool and Water features works that highlight water-related concepts and stressors ranging from the basics of lake stratification and turnover to the impacts of pollutants on aquatic life. Knitting, crochet, weaving and other fiber arts are used to illustrate concepts and trends related to our waters, and to provide inspiration for their protection.

Regional Climate Action Portal
The Capital District Regional Planning Commission has released a regional Climate Action Portal that offers an interactive look at how communities across Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren, and Washington counties are advancing climate action through local leadership and regional coordination. Inside this portal, you’ll find:
- A Greenhouse Gas Inventory Dashboard with emissions data by sector across the eight counties.
- Best practices the region can pursue to reduce emissions, and projections of how those practices can impact our emissions in the coming years.
- Progress visuals that illustrate the region’s movement toward shared emissions reduction goals.
- Case studies showcasing real-world projects and local leadership in action.
Whether you’re an elected official shaping policy or a resident interested in community efforts, the Regional Climate Action Portal offers a clear and accessible view of how the Capital Region is working together to create a more efficient and sustainable future.
